1.5.2 Thru Axles

Thru axles are mounted when the bicycle has to withstand high stress oc-

curring e.g. during freeriding, downhill riding etc. or jumps. They provide

suspension forks with a suitable stiffness.

Before mounting or replacing a fork/wheel combination, be sure

to read the operating instructions of the respective suspension

fork or wheel manufacturer first.

Notes on How to Mount Thru Axle Wheels

There is a wide range of thru axle systems available now. Some systems

are tightened with quick-releases. Other systems may require special tools

(a+b) for assembly or disassembly.

Be sure to read the respective manual before doing any assem-

bly work.

If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, please contact your bicycle

dealer!

Improperly mounted wheels may throw you off your bicycle or

result in serious accidents!

Check the mounting after one to two hours of use and then every 20 hours.

If your bicycle is equipped with a Maxle thru axle system (c) with quick-

release, put the wheel into the fork and mount the rotor in the brake calliper.

Bring the wheel into the correct position between the drop-outs and slide

the axle with the open Maxle quick-release lever from the right side through

the drop-out and the hub. As soon as the axle thread engages with the

thread of the left drop-out, tighten it by turning the whole Maxle clockwise.

Close the Maxle thru axle quick-release lever like a usual quick-release lever

(see above section “How to Fasten Components Securely“).

The E-Thru system (d) has been developed jointly by Shimano and Fox and

has a 15 mm thru axle that optimises weight. It is mounted like the Maxle

system and also operated with a quick-release lever. The special feature

of the E-Thru compared to usual quick-release systems is the firm, bolted

connection of the tightening nut to the fork leg on the opposite side of the

quick-release lever.

For the removal of the front wheel you may need tools ((a) p. 16) depending

on the fork manufacturer and thru axle system. To remove the wheel, loosen

the axle support at the fork and remove the axle completely from the hub.

To remount the front wheel proceed in the reverse order. Make sure all

bolts/quick-release systems are tightened properly.

Over the second half of its travel the resistance you feel should increase sig-

nificantly. Towards the end of its travel you should need very much strength

to close the lever. Use the ball of your thumb to push it in all the way while

your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the fork or the rear stay ((c)

p. 13) , but not on a rotor or spoke.

In its end position, the lever should be parallel to the bicycle, i.e. it should not

stick out to the side ((d) p. 13). The lever should lie close to the frame or the

fork so that it cannot be opened accidentally.

To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of

the hand lever and try to turn it while it is closed. If you can turn the lever

around, open it and increase the initial tension. Screw the tightening nut on

the opposite side clockwise by half a turn. Close the lever and check it again

for tightness.

Finally, lift the bicycle a few centimetres so that the wheel no longer touches

the ground and hit the tyre from above (a). If it is properly fastened, the

wheel will remain firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame without any rat-

tling noise.

If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check wheth-

er the saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame (b).

With insufficiently closed quick-releases and thru axles the

wheels can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!

If your bicycle is equipped with quick-releases (c), be sure to

lock the frame to an immovable object together with the wheels

when you leave it outside.

As an anti-theft measure you can replace the quick-releases by

special locks (d). They can only be opened and closed with a

special, coded key or an Allen key. If you are in doubt or if you

have any questions, please contact your bicycle dealer!

With the DT Swiss RWS system the clamping force is not created via a

cam, but by tightening a bolted connection with a lever.

Tighten the system by turning the lever clockwise while holding the clam-

ping nut tight.

Depending on frame or fork the lever may touch either frame or fork during

tightening. If it does, pull out the lever, turn it back, let it engage again before

retightening.

In its end position, the lever should be parallel to the bicycle, i.e. it should not

stick out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork so that it cannot

be opened accidentally.
